Uphill challenge to boost cancer patients’ fund

Phyllis Murray fought a brave uphill battle to beat breast cancer.

Now, inspired by the care his beloved wife of almost 46 years received during her treatment, her husband Bill plans to take on his own mountain challenge on his 70th birthday to help other cancer patients.

Bill will strap on his hiking boots on the morning of his milestone birthday on October 25 to climb one of Kerry’s 3,000-foot peaks — the imposing Mount Brandon on the Dingle Peninsula — from the more difficult Faha side.
